THE COMPUTER PORT
Your SK760/880 is fitted with a COMPUTER port
which allows two way communications between
the instrument and a computer (PC or MAC) with-
out the need of a MIDI interface. A cable to con-
nect the instrument to your computer’s (IBM/com-
patible or Macintosh) serial port can be obtained
from your Generalmusic outlet or computer out-
let.
The connection via the COMPUTER port allows
the control of 16 MIDI channels (group A), while
MIDI connections can control 32 (groups A & B).

Figure 2 shown below illustrates a simple con-
nection possibility between the SK760/880, a
Computer and an expander.
The Computer function (in Edit General - P.brd/

modes to choose from:
• Macintosh for any Apple Macintosh computer;
• PC1 a slow PC communication suitable for
80386, or earlier models;
• PC2 a fast PC communication suitable for
80486, Pentium or faster processor.
When the COMPUTER port is in use, the MIDI
ports can be used to connect to other musical
instruments.
